Which raises another point, that if you really want to get your proposal accepted more rapidly and widely, its probably worth throwing in some examples of how to patch common software to work with the tag (sample chunk to add to elemstyles for example). Its one thing to ask that software handles it, but its another to write the code to actually make it do it. In my experience, developers prefer the latter. > > Adding it directly to the wiki is not advisable since it's not used yet. If he adds it to the wiki, and creates a few instances of it, then is it still 'not used yet'? If he simply adds to the wiki without adding any data your point would be valid, but if he creates the tags then documents them, wheres the problem? Its better than so many other undocumented tags others have used.
